[MacDV] recording a tv programme straight into my DV camcorder

[Milton van der Veen]

Hi Francesc,

I have had no problem taping from TV with my Sony camcorder. It's a 
different model but it should work the same way. You have the 
connectors right, I am sure, but the secret to taping from the TV is 
that you have to use the Setup Menu to make sure it is turned on. Check 
the items that have to do with DV in/oiut and TV in/out.

I'm sure you'll find the right one. If it doesn't work for you, email 
me off-list and I'll be more specific with how I do it.

Cheers,

Milton
